A One-Sentence Post on...Bobbling the future

It struck us as we watched Travis Snider approach a ball timidly only to have it shank off his glove and squib away into centrefield (unearned runs!) that if he didn't always feel a Sword of TheManagercles hanging over him, he could probably breathe, relax and go play baseball rather than sweating how long of a ride on the pine every misstep was going to cost him.

a manager committed to developing the team's future stars puts Snider back in LF for every game this weekend to reinforce the idea that he's out there to learn how to avoid those mistakes in the future. let's see what Cito does ...

also, i thought he was going to slug Carlson last night after he gave up the high leverage double, making the Manager look like an idiot for not bringing in Downs instead.

Haters.Snider is a horrible fielder and his bat is nowhere near good enough to justify playing him.Once again stat nerds love to overlook the actual raw data in order to justify their pillorying of the Master.Travis Snider sucks, how a man can be considered a realistic prospect when he can catch a damn ball is beyond me but I'm just glad Cito knows the score.
